Remnant cholesterol: "Non-(HDL-C + LDL-C)" as a coronary artery disease risk factor.
In this issue the Journal, Varbo et al. (1) demonstrate that irrespective of the fasting state, the cholesterol transported by remnant lipoproteins is a robust predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. Their findings provide clarification to the debate regarding triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and atherosclerosis (2). Overall, a consensus is emerging on the basis of clinical and populatio...
متن کاملHDL cholesterol, very low levels of LDL cholesterol, and cardiovascular events.
BACKGROUND High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels are a strong inverse predictor of cardiovascular events. However, it is not clear whether this association is maintained at very low levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. METHODS A post hoc analysis of the recently completed Treating to New Targets (TNT) study assessed the predictive value of HDL cholesterol levels in...
متن کاملThe effects of serum cholesterol, LDL, and HDL levels on gallstone cholesterol concentration
OBJECTIVE Gallbladder stones are common in the Western world, and 70% to 80% of gallstones are cholesterol stones. This study investigates the effects of serum cholesterol, LDL, and HDL levels on gallstone cholesterol concentration. METHODOLOGY The gallstones of 75 patients with cholelithiasis were examined using spectrophotometry. RESULTS High serum cholesterol and LDL levels were associat...
متن کاملCirculating microRNA-126 in patients with coronary artery disease: correlation with LDL cholesterol
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major problem worldwide. Atherosclerosis and thrombosis underlying CAD involve multiple cell types. New and useful diagnostic markers are required. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs that posttranscriptionally regulate the gene expressions involved in various cellular processes. Endothelial dysfunction is implicated in early processes ...
متن کاملAge and residual cholesterol efflux affect HDL cholesterol levels and coronary artery disease in ABCA1 heterozygotes.
We and others have recently identified mutations in the ABCA1 gene as the underlying cause of Tangier disease (TD) and of a dominantly inherited form of familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia (FHA) associated with reduced cholesterol efflux. We have now identified 13 ABCA1 mutations in 11 families (five TD, six FHA) and have examined the phenotypes of 77 individuals heterozygous for mutations in the...
